swing. pink is the only wear In those parts Of
Long Island and New Jersey where hunting
olubs have pitched their tents, ana the runs
have been better this year. the farmers moro
amiahe and enthusiasm over the dimnutfve
fox or tho fragrant aniseseed greater than ever
before In this country. Two hunt balls have
taken place during the last week, both unfor-
tunstely on the same night. Tho Essex county
mon had undoubtedly the right OF way. a. they
were first In the field and had selected their
night before the Long Island Club had an.
nounced their intention Of doing the same
thing. As some little irritation had arisen Q
year ago upon tho occasion Of hunt luncheon
at the Country Club, the Lerseymep we're not
disposed to view favorablv the course taken hy
their Long Island confreres.
"All's we'll that ends we'll" however, and a
the ball at Orange was oil that the most Inn
petuous follower OF tho Essex county chase
could desire. there was little room left 10. tho
encouragement Of rivalry or dscontent
Landers orchestra discoursed Its sweetest
strains. the stage and ballroom were deoomted
with great taste with profusion Of flowers
and autumn leaves. There was o super.
abundance OF the male element many Of them
in pink. which gave color to the soens. and
New York sent large contingent Of LADIES'.
many Of whom stayed at their friends houses.
the Misses Coudert, Miss Potter. Mr.. Lawrence
Turnure and Mr.. Almerio Paget.
The dance at the Meadowbrook Club House
was jolly and informal, with great deal Of fun
at very small cost OF money or trouble. All
the Country Club riders and dancers weeo
present and there was large delegation from
Rookaway. The cotillon was one Of tho
prettiest ever danced out OF New York. u
every woman In 1t had more or less beauty. and
many OF them were remarkably handsome.
Miss Adele Grant remained In town In order 10
attend this ball. and with Miss Winslow. Miss
Mabel Wright. Miss May Brady, Mrs. Marion
Story. Mrs. Reginald Rives. and other married
and unmarried bellies. made corps de ballet
that even Mr.. Thomas Howard might hayo
been. and probably was. proud to lead.
All the rival clubs had run yesterday after.
noon. The meet Of the Country Club was at
Mr.. Jacob Lorillard's place at Westohester.
where q sumptuous breakfast was served be-
fore the start. Mrs. y. 8. Sands gave the
MEADOW Brooks and Rockawsys very gay and
pleasant luncheon. and the Essex county
riders were entertained at the club house By
the NJ. F. II. and Mr.. Charles A. Heckscher.
The hunting season Ia only Just beginning In
England. but deer stalking In Scotland has
been better than usual this year. At Balmacaan
Mr. Bradley Martin has brought down between
forty and flfty stags and Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt
has been almost equally successful on the
estate that he has rented In Perthshire. The
American Minister. Mr.. Phelps. who has
been stopping with Lord Tweedmouth ct his
deer forest In Inverness-shire. shot stag
weighing nearly twenty stone with what is
called an imperial" head Of fourteen tines.
1t was counted worthy Of preservation. Of
course. and will probably al some future day
sdorn Mr.. Phelpss ancestral hall In Vermont
Salmon fishing has also been very abundant
on Mr.. Bradley Martins land and some mag.
niHcent fish have been caught.
From stays and salmon to the little tender
quail is rather biz jump, and yet quail shoot
ing and quail eating are pleasures not to b0
despised. On the LIST OF November tho restric.
tons will be taken of at Tuxedo and tho Coun-
try Club. where the land was well stocked with
quail two or three years ago BY Mr.. Lorillard
and Mr.. James Waterbury. and the sport will
be capital. no doubt. In common with all
other luxuries and indulgences the privilege
Of using q gun over these preserves will DO
pretty heavily taxed. however, and. like the
gentleman farmer whose peas cost him two
cents apiece. the lucky sportsmsn will proba-
bly, find his game pie about as expensive a. Q
dinner OF several courses at Delnonioo's. But
those who can afford time for these outdoor
sports can always afford money to pay for
them. and the number OF these who have
